It will be the fifth edition, but the first with the new formula (already experienced by women in St. Moritz) of the afternoon qualification, to form the scoreboard with the 32 athletes who, from 18.15 on Monday, will play under the lights of the final stretch of the Gran Risa, the parallel giant that will end the two days in Alta Badia. Off at 15.00 tomorrow with the first phase: the 32 best times will go on to play for the points of the World Cup, with the result of the direct clashes that do not count to qualify. There are 59 members, with seven blues and obviously the heavy absence of Marco Odermatt, who injured his knee today in the giant Badiota. CLICK HERE FOR THE COMPLETE STARTLIST Henrik Kristoffersen and ClÃ©ment Noel will qualify, one next to the other and with the Frenchman betting strongly on this race. In the second run here is Mauro Caviezel and Alexis Pinturault, but Jansrud and Kilde are also expected to be protagonists, who have always done very well here and will soon be on the track. Recalling the presence of Ramon Zenhaeusern (but the parallel / city event slalom formula is much more suitable for the Swiss giant), and surprisingly the renunciation of Matthias Mayer ("I decided today that it is preferable to rest, thinking of Bormio"), matches of the blues foresee Moelgg with Olsson in the ninth challenge, De Aliprandini at the 16th with the young Belgian Maes, Tonetti at the 18th with one of the possible favorites, Cyprien Sarrazin winner in 2016 on the "cat's humps" and today second in giant, in addition to Vinatzer with Philp, Maurberger with Braathen, Hannes Zingerle with Favrot (2nd last year behind Hirscher) and Nani with the Finnish Torsti.
